Enterprise Management

Leading the development of standards for more effective enterprise management

Collaboration on standards

Through The Open Group, customers, independent software vendors and system vendors work in collaboration with other consortia and standards bodies on specifications and open source technologies for enterprise management.

The OpenPegasus Project

The OpenPegasus Project[1]comprises system vendors and independent software vendors who together have produced and continue to evolve an open source implementation of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM) and Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) standards.

The Open Group Enterprise Management Forum

The Enterprise Management Forum[2] works to develop a common manageability infrastructure that can be used by both application developers and management system vendors to construct effective solutions without artificial barriers to their management.

CMPI Technical Standard[4]: The Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) Technical Standard defines a C-based programming interface to be used by management servers and their resource-specific extensions.
